AEW wrestler Darby Allin was removed from an Uber ride by the driver during a live radio interview on KFMA 102.1. The incident occurred while Allin was promoting an upcoming Collision event in Tucson, Arizona. Allin handled the situation calmly and completed the interview on foot.
On February 27, 2026, AEW star Darby Allin encountered an unexpected disruption during a live interview on KFMA 102.1's Podcast Broadcast. Allin, riding in an Uber to promote the March 7, 2026, Collision taping in Tucson, Arizona, was speaking on speakerphone when the driver interrupted, expressing frustration over the noise.
The driver stated, “I’d hate to interrupt your ‘therapy session’ or whatever, but it’s kind of rude of you to be on speakerphone in someone’s Uber.” Allin responded professionally, asking, “Is it cool if I finish?” The driver, who had been working since 5 a.m., replied, “Look man, I’ve been driving since 5 a.m. I’m tired. Can you just put the phone up? It’s a little rude.” Despite explanations from Allin and the hosts that it was a live national broadcast, the driver insisted, “I don’t care [what the reason is], can you just put the phone away?”
The situation escalated as the hosts joked about the driver's "one star behaviour," prompting the driver to pull over on the side of the highway. He yelled, struck the steering wheel, and ordered Allin out of the vehicle before driving away. Allin remained composed, smiling as he exited and continued the interview while walking. The driver also commented on Allin's appearance, mentioning a 'Gene Simmons thing' with his look.
Hours later, Allin posted on Instagram that he was still walking and searching for another ride, as it was dark outside. This offbeat incident occurred amid Allin's busy AEW schedule, including a feud with the Death Riders led by Jon Moxley following their "I Quit" match at WrestleDream. Allin, a 33-year-old popular star and former tag team champion, recently won against Clark Connors on the January 31, 2026, episode of Collision and appeared on the February 25, 2026, Dynamite against Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors. Outside wrestling, Allin pursues climbing Mount Everest and film direction, preferring to work behind the camera for scripted projects. He finished the segment in good spirits while awaiting another ride.
